An absorbing study of the tanks and the tank tactics of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht during the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union in World War II. When the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, the Red Army had four times as many tanks as the Wehrmacht and their tanks were seemingly superior, yet the Wehrmacht won the border battles with extraordinary ease. The Red Army’s tank force was pushed aside and for the most part annihilated. How was this victory achieved, and were the Soviet tanks really as well designed as is often believed? These are the basic questions Boris Kavalerchik answers in this compelling study of tank warfare on the Eastern Front. Drawing on technical and operational documents from Russian archives, many of which were classified until recently and are unknown to Western readers, he compares the strengths and weakness of the tanks and the different ways in which they were used by the opposing armies. His work will be essential reading for military historians who are interested in the development of armored warfare and in this aspect of the struggle on the Eastern Front. “So much has been written on this subject, and yet this book dispels myths and offers fresh insights in a study of Soviet and German tanks at the beginning of the war on the Eastern Front . . . a fascinating selection of images.”—Firetrench “This book is highly recommended due to the excellent use of data, the organization of the book established by the author, and thoughtful and comprehensive coverage of the subject.”—IPMS/USA

Panzer Tracts No. 5-3 - Panzerkampfwagen Panther Ausf.GWe spent hundreds of hours precisely measuring survivors and over a thousand hours drawing at full-scale to create as-built drawings for the first time - accurate to the same tight tolerances demanded of the original assembly firms. Hundreds of research hours went into finding the numerous previously unnoticed modifications. Therefore, we have selected the unique approach of using 1/10th scale drawings to illustrate the smallest details, while six-view (including right side and belly) 1/35th scale drawings are still used for the complete Panther. We also created flat-plane drawings of many components to aid modelers make accurate parts that are hard to replicate when only drawn at an angle. This 68 page book is the ultimate accurate reference for the Panther Ausf.G and the F.G.1250 infra-red scope and sight with over 200 scale drawings and 29 clear/rare large-format photos.
Pz.Kpfw.II's helped overrun France in 1940. Who still had them in 1944? Where? What strange vehicle had spikes and cleats and roamed the sunken lanes of Normandy on gigantic iron wheels? What unusual feature was seen on a knocked out "Puma?" When you kitbash a Sd.Kfz.222 and a Sd.Kfz.251 in 1:1 scale, what do you get, and who gets credit for it? Only one German AFV met the Allied invasion forces on the beaches. Which one? The answers to these and other questions are to be found here in Panzerwrecks 11, with 128 rare and unpublished large format photographs from around the world.
This eighth volume focuses on the German resistance to the Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944 with 123 photos of German armor derived from Polish, Canadian, British and American sources. Features include 'Operation Cobra,' German Guns on French vehicles, rocket firing half tracks, and loads of Tiger photos, with most images printed one to a page for maximum clarity. Concise captions remark on unit and vehicle identification, colors and camouflage. This is Part One of a two part series.
